My parents got me a Commodore VIC-20. After I mentioned that I got one for Christmas, I was laughed out of my 7th grade Apple ][ programming class. My parents made up for it the following Christmas with a Commodore 64.

  I had a C= 16. Talk about laughable. I didn't even have a tape drive, either.
  Later I got an Apple ][+, with two floppy drives no less. That was a serious game changer for me.
